As Per my previous post

Gwynedd Council are currently looking for tenders to operate the Mon-Sat 3B - As per current timetable and the 3 for a short period until March 2021.

Pwllheli Outstation was closed following the reduction of services in April, with the withdrawal of all Weekday Porthmadog to Pwllheli journeys. Most of the fleet at time of closure were 07 plate Pulsars from the regular Bangor pool. Buses normally would swap around 10am in Porthmadog on a Tuesday

At present Bangor Depot are providing one vehicles and drivers for the 3B. (Normally a Cymru Coastliner 14 reg pulsar) Returning to Bangor at the end of the day.

In regards to the former Pwllheli vehicles these have returned to the Bangor pool, and are providing much needed capacity for the regions services allowing other vehicles such as the Solos/Cadets ect to operate additional Dedicated School Buses to aid Social Distancing for the two Bangor High Schools

Arriva operated to Pwllheli for the last time today [Sunday 13th December], the 3 Porthmadog - Pwllheli

3166 CX14 BYC completing the final bow on the Llŷn Peninsula for Arriva Cymru and the direct successor of the onetime Crosville, Crosville Wales operation in this area, one that once boasted a full depot before the smaller and reduced outstation status of later years.

3166 in a dull and raining Pwllheli probably summed up the low key tone https://www.flickr.com/photos/35721472@N08/50714947328

I understand Caelloi are registered to start a 3S replacement from next Sunday, 20th December.
